Charming, spacious detached cottage with established gardens & grounds of about 3.65 acres, situated on the edge of this popular hamlet.

Description

1-2 New Tyehurst Cottages is a charming and beautifully presented detached cottage, situated on the edge of the sought-after hamlet of Chiddingstone Hoath, with its public house, and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Landscape. Originally two separate dwellings, the current owners carried out a full refurbishment to great effect, creating bright, well-proportioned, and versatile accommodation, arranged over two floors and subtly combining character features with modern embellishments. Salient features include a stylish kitchen, contemporary bathroom suites, wood floors, some multipaned windows and attractive brick fireplaces inset with wood burning stoves. The established gardens, with woodland and an adjoining paddock, provide a lovely backdrop to the house and amount to about 3.65 acres, with the property also benefiting from ample off-road parking to the front.

The principal reception rooms are ideal for entertaining and modern family living.

There are two impressive triple aspect sitting rooms, both with doors to the rear garden and brick fireplaces, inset with wood burning stoves, a cosy snug with built-in storage and a further brick fireplace and wood burning stove and an adjoining dining room, also with built-in storage and a fireplace.

The superb kitchen by Martin Moore Design has a lovely view over the rear garden and is fitted with a comprehensive range of stylish Shaker-style wall and base units, space for a range style oven, underfloor heating and integrated Miele appliances.

The adjoining utility room provides further storage, space for appliances and access to outside.

A well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Arranged over the first floor are six bedrooms, three with built-in storage and four being interconnected, creating a versatile space that could easily be reconfigured to create larger rooms, if necessary.

Completing the accommodation, are two modern family bathrooms, one with a separate shower.

The property is approached via a gravelled driveway, providing ample parking, and leading to the front door. An area of lawn is surrounded by deciduous trees at the boundary and there is gate access to either side of the property.
